The ward door clicked open, and Li Chengdao, who had been waiting outside and was almost dozing off, jumped up from his chair and asked energetically, "Master Jiang, how did the chat go?"

Xia Yeming slowly stood up, his gaze passing over Jiang Yuan and landing on the medical equipment in the ward.

The moment Xia Yeming saw the instrument, a look of sadness appeared on his face.

Li Chengdao wasn't blind either; sensing that something was amiss, he glanced at the ward.

"Master Jiang, Mr. Xia, please accept my condolences," Li Chengdao said, offering his comfort.

Ye Shanhe was already ninety years old when he passed away; that's considered a long life.

"Mr. Xia, is there any way to contact Shanhe's family?" Jiang Yuan asked.

The person has passed away; it is appropriate to come and take a look, and to arrange his funeral.

Even those who hate Ye Shanhe and want revenge will not doubt him at all when they see his wife and children come back to see him.

They would only think that Ye Shanhe's wife returned out of consideration for their past marriage, and wouldn't think that they still had feelings for each other.

In their eyes, couples who truly love each other would not have gone without seeing each other, writing letters, or making phone calls since their divorce.

This was precisely the scheme Ye Shanhe had devised for their safety.

“Old Master Ye asked me to deliver something to Old Madam Ye before, and I have her granddaughter’s contact information.”

"I'll contact them right now."

Xia Yeming spoke, then took out his phone and dialed a number he hadn't called in a long time.

Since Jiang Yuan asked this question, she must want Ye Shanhe's family to come and see him off on his final journey.

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Mr. Xia." Jiang Yuan nodded.

"Master Li, could you please keep an eye on things for the next few days, until... Shanhe's funeral?" Jiang Yuan asked Li Chengdao.

"It's no trouble at all, it's my honor to help you or not," Li Chengdao waved his hand.

Sometimes he felt that Jiang Yuan was too polite to him. If he could, he would prefer her to be less polite, so that their relationship would seem closer.

Only those who are closer or have a better relationship will directly ask for help instead of using polite phrases like "Could you please help me?"

"Thank you," Jiang Yuan said gratefully.

The funeral must be conducted properly, so that the person can be sent off comfortably.

It can be said that my journey in this world was not in vain.

“Master Jiang, just treat me like one of your own, there’s no need to be so polite to me.”

"That 'thank you' is too formal. I'm just your disciple, and our relationship is even closer than that of friends!"

Li Chengdao raised both hands, made a "one" gesture, and then brought his hands a little closer together to show Jiang Yuan their current relationship.

Why is Jiang Yuan being so polite?

She also thanked him.

Is Li Chengdao some kind of outsider?

Is it necessary to be so polite?

Seeing Li Chengdao's anxious look, Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Okay."

"Hey, then Master Jiang, remember to be a little less polite to me in the future!" Hearing this "good," Li Chengdao felt relieved and gave the instruction.

"Master Jiang, don't worry. With me here, I guarantee that nothing will happen to Old Master Ye! His family will be safe too!" Li Chengdao said confidently, patting his chest.

He also knew about Ye Shanhe's affairs; countless people abroad hated him.

Although he is dead, it is unknown whether those who hate him will cause trouble at his funeral, or whether they will give up or covet the antique treasures in his home.

In short, with Li Chengdao around, he would never allow Ye Shanhe's funeral to go wrong in the slightest, nor would he allow any member of the Ye family to get into trouble!

Unless, Li Chengdao dies!

"Here are some talismans. Take them for self-defense." Jiang Yuan took out several talismans from her pocket and handed them to Li Cheng.

Li Chengdao accepted it carefully, as if it were a precious treasure.

The talisman was light and fluttering, but to Li Chengdao it was more precious than any other gift.

This talisman was drawn by Master Jiang himself!

These aren't the usual amulets or talismans; they're explosive talismans, fireball talismans, lightning-attracting talismans...

Although the talismans were drawn hastily and the strokes were simple, he knew that these talismans were definitely powerful!

"Master Jiang, if these talismans are not needed, will you take them back?" Li Chengdao guarded the talismans tightly like an animal protecting its food.

"No," Jiang Yuan shook her head and replied.

It's just a few talismans; she wouldn't be so stingy.

Besides, having it on him might save his life in a critical moment.

“These talismans are drawn in the same way as the ones you draw, but they are more concise, and the method used is the same as the ones you draw,” Jiang Yuan continued.

"Really? These talismans are the same as the ones I drew?" Li Chengdao was somewhat surprised.

Different sects and different paths have different ways of drawing talismans.

Naturally, the usage is also somewhat different.

Unexpectedly, the talisman drawn by Master Jiang was just a simplified version of the talismans he usually drew.

“Yes, the same,” Jiang Yuan replied.

After all, they both came from Xingchen Mountain; it would be strange if they were different.

"If you'd like, you can try drawing it yourself."

"Not only will it greatly reduce the time required to draw talismans, but its power should also be much greater. Even in critical moments, when there are no talismans available, you can quickly draw one."

Jiang Yuan suggested.

"Hiss, Master Jiang, the way you're talking makes it sound like something bad is going to happen to me."

"But I'm planning to copy... no, learn a thing or two, hehe."

Li Chengdao chuckled.

He was worried that Jiang Yuan would mind, so he thought he would secretly learn the skill in private.

I didn't expect Jiang Yuan to be so generous, and even suggested that he learn it!

It was her earlier comment about a critical moment that gave him a feeling that something bad was going to happen to him.

"Just in case." Jiang Yuan was somewhat surprised by Li Chengdao's keen insight, but still didn't bring it up.

"Master Jiang is right, just in case."

"If something like what happened in the Yi family's old house happens again, I can just use a talisman to get rid of those evil spirits!"

Li Chengdao chuckled.

This trip was really rewarding!

When he returns after completing his studies, we must show his master how much he has changed!

"Grandpa Ye's granddaughter said they're on their way now," Xia Yeming said, putting away his phone after finishing the call and looking at Jiang Yuan.

After Ye Shanhe divorced his wife, she took their child back to China and lived in their old house in D City.

It only takes a few hours to fly here from City D.

"Master Jiang, thank you." Xia Yeming said gratefully.

"I should thank you for letting me see my old friend one last time," Jiang Yuan said gratefully.

“I will send someone to escort Master Jiang back,” Xia Yeming continued.

Jiang Yuan is a very busy person. It has already taken up a lot of her time to come see Ye Shanhe, so how could he continue to waste her time?

"Okay." Jiang Yuan nodded.

At other times, she could stay longer.

But right now, she really has something to do.

Xia Yeming saw Jiang Yuan into his car and then instructed the driver to take her safely back to the hotel.
